Nurse practitioners are capable leaders in primary care design as practices nationwide move to consider and adopt the patient-centered medical home. The chronic care model provides a structure to enhance the care of chronic illness. Nurse practitioners are instrumental in many areas of this model as both leaders and caregivers. Safety and quality are basic medical home goals; nurse practitioners enhance both. The addition of a nurse practitioner to a practice is an effective "value add" in every way.
随着全国各地的医疗机构开始考虑并采用以患者为中心的医疗之家模式，执业护士在初级医疗保健设计中是有能力的领导者。慢性病护理模式为加强慢性病护理提供了一种架构。执业护士在该模式的许多领域中，既是领导者又是护理者，发挥着重要作用。安全和质量是医疗之家的基本目标；执业护士在这两方面都有所提升。在医疗机构中增加一名执业护士在各方面都是一种有效的“增值”。
